I had to laugh when you mentioned your neighbors thoughts, hearing you make bird calls, etc. I am mortified each time my husband strolls the yard, staring into the trees making the cat bird sound. I should take a video. Love our birds!!!
Wonderful shots of him, Ron! You must be a "bird whisperer."

Thank you Janos, I've had a "way" with animals and birds all my life...some of the birds I've rescued over the years, usually after being hit by cars, were quite happy to sit om my arm for ages before they eventually flew away...in the old house, I used to feed wild Crested Pigeons (just a snack, not enough to sustain them so they didn't become reliant) out of my hand while their chicks were sitting on my arm...

your little buddie is a cutie, and looks like he found plenty of food to eat. if I was your neighbor
and heard you making bird noises, I would be curious and rush over to see what the heck you were doing.
that would probably scare your buddy away though. lol.
